Two U.S. representatives from Colorado, Jeff Hurd and Gabe Evans, will be walking a tight rope posed by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. How exactly will they explain why they voted for the sprawling 1,000-page bill? If adopted by the Senate as written, the law would certainly raise electricity rates and slow the adoption of electric vehicles. Together with the topsy-turvy tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump on China, the bill may help drive up prices of gas-fueled cars and trucks, too.

I am considering getting off Twitter or X or whatever Elon Musk wants to call it. I am so tired of his nonsense. He's a weirdo, but a very dangerous one with all the misinformation he spews.
